Arsenal welcome West Brom to the Emirates on what promises to be a bumper Boxing Day of action in the Premier League.

David Moyes returns to Old Trafford for the first time since he left the club under a cloud in 2014, while table toppers Chelsea will be without the key figures of Diego Costa and N'Golo Kante as they face Bournemouth.

Elsewhere, Bob Bradley and his struggling Swansea side welcome West Ham, Everton visit the King Power stadium to take on champions Leicester, and Burnley host Middlesbrough.

Join SPORTSMAIL's Dan Ripley for live updates and all the action from all the Boxing Day 3pm kick-offs.

Every game has a late goal now, with Pedro netting his second of the afternoon in the third minute of stoppage time.

16:49

GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 3-1 Sunderland

The last laugh isn't always loudest as fabio Borini nets a consolation for Sunderland in stoppage time.

16:48

GOAL! Leicester City 0-2 EVERTON

Goals everywhere. Everton are bouncing back from their Merseyside derby defeat in perfect fashion as they are on course for three points at the champions after Romelu Lukaku finds the net in stoppage time.

16:46

GOAL! Swansea City 1-4 WEST HAM UNITED

...in fact West Ham restore their three-goal lead, with Andy Carroll on target at the Liberty Stadium.

16:45

GOAL! SWANSEA CITY 1-3 West Ham United

Fernando Llorente pulls a goal back one minute from time but it's too little too late for Bob Bradley's outfit.

16:44

GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 3-0 Sunderland

Brilliant goal from Henrikh Mkhitaryan, even if it did look offside as he backheels the third goal for the Red Devils.

16:43

GOAL! ARSENAL 1-0 West Bromwich Albion

It's been another stubborn defensive performance from West Brom in London but like against Chelsea they concede late on as Olivier Giroud nods home a looping header after a Mesut Ozil cross.

16:43

Michail Antonio grabs West ham's third goal at Swansea

SWANSEA, WALES - DECEMBER 26: Michail Antonio of West Ham United celebrates scoring his team's third goal

16:42

From Sportsmail's Matt Barlow at Stamford Bridge

'Jack Wilshere looks to be in some pain here but he’s soldiering on with three subs already used by Bournemouth and getting plenty of stick from the home crowd.'

16:40

GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 2-0 Sunderland

The scoring streak continues for Zlatan Ibrahimovic who makes it 11 goals in 10 games and also surely three points for the Red Devils now after a calm finish past Pickford.

16:39

GOAL! BURNLEY 1-0 Middlesbrough

So of course we finally have a goal now! Tom Heaton's kick is flicked on by Sam Vokes for Andre Gray, whose shot somehow squirms through Victor Valdes to break the deadlock.

16:39

Burnley 0-0 Middlesbrough

Still no goals at Turf Moor. Plenty of yellow cards though as Fabio da Silva picks up the game's ninth after bringing down Steven Defour.

16:34

GOAL! Swansea City 0-3 WEST HAM UNITED

Swansea's defensive frailties away from the Liberty Stadium have come as West Ham put three Boxing Day points in the back to take back to London.

Michail Antonio strikes 12 minutes from time for the Hammers.

16:33

Arsenal 0-0 West Bromwich Albion

Arsene Wenger has made all three of his changes in pursuit of a late winner against West Brom, bringing on Lucas Perez, Nacho Monreal and Aaron Ramsey in place of Kieran Gibbs, Alex Iwobi and Francis Coquelin.

As it stands Arsenal are 11 points behind Chelsea... the Gunners were top of the table around a fortnight ago...

16:30

Chelsea 2-0 Bournemouth

Big moment for Bournemouth. They should have pulled a goal back but after Benik Afobe is put through on goal against Thibaut Courtois, his shot is blocked by the feet of the Belgian.

16:28

From Sportsmail's Joe Bernstein at Turf Moor

'Bad blood is creeping in at Turf Moor now. Stephen Ward becomes the seventh yellow of the game for a particularly dubious two-footed scissors challenge on Gaston Ramirez.'

16:27

From Sportsmail's Laurie Whitwell at the King Power Stadium

'Claudio Ranieri playing his hand with 30 minutes to go. Understandably, he brings on Riyad Mahrez and Leonardo Ulloa but takes off Demarai Gray, much to the annoyance of home fans who boo loudly given the winger’s positive contributions. Ulloa almost makes an immediate impact, but his header is straight at Joel Robles.'

16:26

From Sportsmail's Chris Wheeler at Old Trafford

'A rousing reception for Henrikh Mkhitaryan who has clearly become a popular player among the United fans. The Armenian replaced Jesse Lingard and Mourinho will hope he can provide more stability down the flanks, with Sunderland continuing to pose a threat.'

16:25

Manchester United 1-0 Sunderland

Still no goals for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but he should double United's lead here. Henrikh Mkhitaryan plays in the striker but his effort is denied by Jordan Pickford's foot.

16:24

Leicester City 0-1 Everton

Claudio Ranieri has thrown his lot in with his final two changes as Riyad Mahrez and Leonardo Ulloa come on for Andy King and Demarai Gray.

16:21

From GracenoteLive

Joel Robles is the 1st Everton goalkeeper to provide an assist in the PL since Tim Howard against Newcatle United on 30 September 2013.

Hazard celebrates with marcos Alonso and Gary Cahill after scoring the penalty

16:12

From Sportsmail's Joey Barton at Turf Moor

'Joey Barton is one of the interested spectators at Turf Moor. Barton had agreed a deal to rejoin the Clarets after his unhappy spell in Scotland with Rangers but the deal is on hold until FA betting charges against him are dealt with.'

'Superb carrying off possession from the back by Marcos Rojo facilitated that opener. Crisp strike by Daley Blind across Jordan Pickford too. Might settle the frustrated home crowd.'

15:40

From Sportsmail's Laurie Whitwell at the King Power Stadium

'Big call by Claudio Ranieri to leave out Riyad Mahrez but it has been coming. Barring his display against Manchester City, the Algerian has been some way short of the form that saw him voted the PFA Player of the Season for a while.

'Demarai Gray has been knocking at the door with two assists and a stunning goal at Old Trafford when appearing off the bench, and he has justified his inclusion from the start here, plenty of running and creativity.

'Ben Chilwell, who suffered a chastening experience in Porto, is also doing well on his Premier League debut – sprinting across from left-back to nip the ball away from Romelu Lukaku in a dangerous position in his best moment.'

15:39

GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 1-0 Sunderland

Wouldn't you know it, Manchester United of course take the lead as Daley Blind fires across goal following a lay-off by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

'Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata are really struggling so far for United. Whole side looks a bit lopsided and Sunderland have probably enjoyed the better of it for the last 15 minutes until Pogba volleys over the bar.'

15:38

Chelsea 1-0 Bournemouth

Top game at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea nearly double their lead as a free-kick on the edge of the box following a foul on Eden Hazard is fired just over the crossbar by Cesc Fabregas.

15:35

Arsenal 0-0 West Bromwich Albion

Arsenal are finding it pretty tough to break down West Brom at the Emirates. The Gunners have dominated possession but Ben Foster hasn't had too much to do, while the baggies have looked rather handy on the counter attack. Finely poised this.

15:33

Chelsea 1-0 Bournemouth

Chance for Bournemouth. An inviting ball falls for Jack Wilshere 10 yards out inside the Chelsea box, but his volley is crucially deflected wide. It's been a good response from Bournemouth since they fell behind.

15:31

From Sportsmail's Joe Bernstein at Turf Moor

'Referee Craig Pawson in Burnley's bad books again. He ignored a double penalty-appeal for a Calum Chambers handball and high foot by Marten De Roon on Dean Marney. Mr Pawson was in charge of Burnley's game against Arsenal when he allowed Laurent Koscielny's handball injury-time winner to stand.'

15:30

From Sportsmail's Chris Wheeler at Old Trafford

'A bright start by Sunderland at Old Trafford, and that wasn’t often the case for Moyes’s team when he was in charge here.

'Victor Anichebe has been a handful for the United defence despite that early shoulder injury.

'Jose Mourinho still looks aggrieved that his team weren’t given a penalty for Kone’s challenge on Mata, but United are starting to assume control and Pogba has come closest to opening the scoring.'

15:29

From Sportsmail's Matt Barlow at Stamford Bridge

'Pedro’s goal is all about the finish. Neat passes from Hazard and Fabregas but Pedro despite being under pressure on the edge of the penalty box dug out a fabulous curling shot with his left-foot, over Boruc and into the top corner.

'Bournemouth, patient in possession, had resisted well until that point and have threatened on the break. It’s certainly not all Chelsea. And not over yet.'

'Tame at Turf Moor so far. The 'hostility' that existed between Burnley and Middlesbrough during last season's promotion race from The Championship not in evidence so far.'

15:21

From Sportsmail's Laurie Whitwell at the King Power Stadium

'Jamie Vardy is sitting next to Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in the King Power Stadium directors’ box, another statement against the FA to go alongside the 30,000 masks of the England striker.

'FA chairman Greg Clarke is also at the ground and is even wearing the mask! It is quite a statement being made by Leicester.

'One of those slightly eerie masks was actually picked up and worn by Vardy, who is being backed in remarkable fashion by Vichai, who is furious the club’s appeal against suspension failed. Robert Huth and Christian Fuchs, also banned, are up in the stands too.'

15:21

From Sportsmail's Riath Al-Samarrai at the Liberty Stadium

'Good goal for West Ham and predictable, as well, given it involved Andy Carroll winning a high ball in Swansea's area.

'He beat Angel Rangel in the air, as he always seems to do, and from there it was a case of Lukasz Fabianski appearing to have concrete boots.

'Horribly sluggish getting across his line. Would expect West Ham to take that high road a few more times today.'

Andre Ayew celebrates scoring his first West Ham United goal against his former club

15:19

From OptaJoe

9 - Nine of Andre Ayew's 13 goals in the Premier League have come at the Liberty Stadium. Surroundings.

Good play from United. Antonio Valencia tees up Paul Pogba who from a tight angle is denied by Jordan Pickford. Dominating start from the Red Devils.

15:03

From Sportsmail's Matt Barlow at Stamford Bridge

'Hazard starts at centre forward for Chelsea. Bournemouth – in the absence of Nathan Ake who can’t play against Chelsea - have gone to three at the back in an attempt to stop the win-machine.'

15:02

From Sportsmail's Joe Bernstein at Turf Moor

'Unseasonal sunshine at Turf Moor. Burnley's £9million striker Andre Gray makes his first home start since September as Sean Dyche tries to take advantage of a winnable-looking fixture against Middlesbrough.'

15:02

From Sportsmail's Chris Wheeler at Old Trafford

'They welcomed him with ‘The Chosen One’ banner and saw him off with another one that declared ‘Wrong One – Moyes Out’, and David Moyes makes a low-key return to Old Trafford.

'He is last down the touchline before kick-off, receiving a handshake from Jose Mourinho – and Fred the Red – but there is little else to mark his first return since he was sacked as United boss in 2014.'

IAN LADYMAN: Sam Allardyce is not the kind of manager to let a point away from home go unappreciated. Nevertheless, the manner in which his Crystal Palace team surrendered control of this game will have told him much about the players he has inherited from Alan Pardew.

One of the tasks Allardyce faced during his 67 days in charge of England was to imbue a little mental toughness. We will never know whether he would have been the man to cure the nation's best footballers of their one great failing.

Back in club football at Palace, meanwhile, it appears he may face a similar job.

'Batshuayi on the bench despite Costa's absence. Quite an indictment when at home to Bournemouth and bang in form but Conte obviously doesn't think he's ready. Willian, Hazard and Pedro up front. Cesc in for Kante.'

But of course we are focussing on the 3pm Boxing Day ones and the team news for them is coming up next...
